The lost road: do transportation networks imperil wildlife population persist...
The global road network is rapidly growing associated with human economic development. This growth also entails a high toll for biodiversity, with several well-documented... -
Edges of natural vegetation to increase the diversity of wild bees in agricul...
The transformation of natural ecosystems by the intensification of agriculture has negative effects on bee communities. “Operation Pollinator” aims to increase field... -

The link between roadkills distribution and the surrounding landscape in two ...
A research on wildlife road-kills, mostly medium-sized mammals, has been conducted for two years along two highways (namely A-15 and A-10) in the Euro Siberian area of northwest... -
Distributional patterns of endemic, native and alien species along a roadside...
Invasion by alien plant species may be rapid and aggressive, causing erosion of local biodiversity. This is particularly true for islands, where natural and anthropogenic... -
Effects of roads on small-mammal movements: opportunities and risks of vegeta...
Roads can block animal movement and reduce persistence of species living in road surroundings. Movement restrictions on local populations may even increase extinction risk of... -
The spatial distribution of animal casualties within a road corridor: implica...
We assessed wildlife roadkill spatial patterns focusing on asphalt roads in southern Spanish oak rangelands (“dehesas”). Four roads in the Sierra Morena range (Andalusia) were... -
Roadless and low-traffic areas as conservation targets in Europe.
With increasing road encroachment, habitat fragmentation by transport infrastructures has been a serious threat for European biodiversity. Areas with no roads or little traffic... -
GDefrag: a graph-based tool to help defragmenting landscapes divided by linea...
Habitat fragmentation is a major biodiversity threat. Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads) hamper the movement of individuals and cause non-natural mortality. Roadkill hotspots... -
Effects of low and medium traffic roads on bat activity and species richness.
The adverse effects of roads on bats are a recent and still poorly documented issue. Most of the research focuses on characterizing locations of bat collisions and the factors... -

On the identification of mortality hotspots in linear infrastructures.
One of the main tasks when dealing with the impacts of infrastructures on wildlife is to identify hotspots of high mortality so one can devise and implement mitigation measures.... -
Roads as drivers of population spreading: the case study of bee-eaters in Doñ...
In this study, we found that bee-eaters spread to theoretically suboptimal habitats to excavate their nests and colonize new areas. Studying this possible life strategy that can... -
Large and non-specific bird mortality in a high-speed railway traversing a Sp...
Human activities alter ecosystems where they are built and they frequently shape in the midor long-term their structure and function. Thus, it is essential to know how new... -

Beware that the lack of wildlife mortality records can mask a serious impact ...
Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads, railways or power lines) promote a myriad of negative impacts on wildlife around the world, of which direct mortality is the most visible... -

Mortalidad de rapaces en carreteras españolas.
A two-year survey of vertebrate mortality was carried out in Spain, the results showing that 5% of killed animals were raptors. Of these, mostly were nocturnal species (90.92%),...
